PICTURE It appears that this engine was not setup for an oil filter? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 1,300 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 1,300 | I will help with what I know. H, my 54 has a coolant petcock there. Actually, the hydramatic throttle return spring hooks around it. G is oil pressure connection. My engine has a T fitting there for oil to filter and oil pressure guage. F is where the linkage pivot goes for hydramatic linkage instead of the forward position where yours is for manual transmission linkage pivot. E I think may be oil drainback for oil filter. A,B,C,and D, I need help on. I am sure that some of them are for generator mounting bracket but I don't know which ones. Hope this helps a little bit. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 91 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 91 | I believe that ABC are holes used for side mounts. I know GM shifted to sidemounts during 50's and started casting blocks for sidemount but also had front mount plates for replacement engines on older vehicles. On my truck I have a bracket that runs from A, across B, to D, which holds the generator/alternator.
My 1950 truck had center front mount only
My friends '57 truck, front crossmember, had ability for sidemount or front mount engines. The 235's where casted for side mounts untill front mounts where phased out. This truck had a '62 235 sidemount only replacement engine which I planned to use on my front mount only '50 truck.
I choose to make sidemounts on my frame and instead of milling block and exchanging mounting plate.
Somebody please correct me if Ive drawn some wrong conclusions

Any elaboration on this is greatly appreciated. This engine is going into a '51 half-ton which does not use side mounts. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,522 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 1,522 | Hi Woody,
A,B,C,D, Are generator/motor mount holes.
E, Is oil return,if youre running a filter
F, Is another bellcrank throttle mounting point.
G, Is oil pressure,straight off the oil galley.
H, Is block drain.(coolant)
For your truck, youll want to drill the front plate on the motor to accept the front mount. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 2,644 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 2,644 | Thanks to everyone who took the time to answer and especially to the one Super-Bolter who sent photos of the motor mount.
